5- 8 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
6ZF070C1-A
o Engine coolant
The coolant should be changed at the intervals specified in the mainte-nance schedule.
6ZF060H1-A
o Air cleaner filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is
recommended when filter is replaced.
6ZF060J1-A
o Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range. 6ZF070B1-A
o Cooling system
Check the cooling system part, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts.
6ZF070D1-A
o Manual transaxle oil
Inspect the manual transaxle oil ac-
cording to the maintenance schedule. NOTE:
If the oil level is low, check for
possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.
6ZF060G1-A o Vapour hose and fuel filler cap The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. Make sure that a new vapourhose or fuel filler cap is correctly re- placed. 6ZF060F1-A
o Vacuum, crankcase
ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Par-ticular attention should be paid to ex- amining those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as theexhaust manifold.Inspect the hose routing to assurethat the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might causeheat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence of deterioration or damage.
F060N01X-GAT
o Valve clearances (1.1 L)
Incorrect valve clearance will not only
result in unsteady engine operation,but will also cause excessive noiseand reduced engine performance. In- spect valve clearance and adjust as required while the engine is hot.
Valve-to-rocker arm clearance Intake valves ..... 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) Exhaust valves ... 0.25 mm (0.010 in.)

G070A01TB-EAT CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FILTER
1. Remove the engine cover (Not all
models).
2. Unsnap the clips around the cover.
3. Lift the cover off.
4. Remove the old filter and replace to the new one. Genuine Hyundai Re- placement Parts are recommended.
CAUTION:
Operating your vehicle without aproper air filter in place can result in excessive engine wear.
!
G080A01A-EAT WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accumulations of road film orother debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap or detergent and water.If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai replacement.
HEF119
Diesel engine
CAUTION:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass since rapid wear and dam-age to the windscreen glass may result.
o Keep the blade rubber out of con- tact with petroleum products suchas engine oil, gasoline, etc.

B145A01TB-EAT CHANGING THE POLLEN FIL-
TER (In Front of evaporator unit)(Not all models) The pollen filter is located in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box. It operates to decrease pollutants fromentering the car and to filter the air.
1. Remove the adjusting pins on both
sides of the glove box to open half the glove box.
HTB290-D
SG140D1-E Off Season Maintenance The air conditioning must be run for ten minutes or so weekly during periodswhen the system would not normally be used to ensure that the compressor and seals are lubricated. If this precautionis not observed the compressor seals may become stuck to the compressor shaft and damaged when the system isnext used resulting in a loss of refriger- ant and damage to the compressor.
SG140C1-E Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera- tion system running at the coldest setting.
2. Open the bonnet and inspect the sight glass on the top of the receiverdryer.
3. If the refrigerant charge is insuffi- cient, a flow of bubbles will be ob-served through the sight glass.
4. If the refrigerant charge is satisfac- tory, no bubbles will be observedthrough the sight glass. CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning systemwith a low refrigerant level may dam-age the compressor.
!
The air conditioning compressor drive belt should be checked to ensure free- dom from damage or excessive wearand correct tension. The belt tension is correct when the belt deflects by about 0.3 inches (8 mm) (1.1L: 5 ~ 5.5 mm)when a force of 98 N is applied to the belt halfway between the compressor and crankshaft pulleys. Adjustment ofthe belt should be entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer.
